We had to walk past one of the main dining rooms to get to our room upstairs but keep in mind it is a very old and historic inn. We had the Shearer room and it was very clean and welcoming. There is a gas fireplace when you walk in and it was putting out the heat! Then we walked back into the bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The sheets were soft and bed was nice. There is no TV but there is Wi-Fi. All in all we had a good experience. The breakfast was delicious! I had the pancakes and the bacon which both were excellent.

Our room was quiet, clean, and the amenities were just what we needed for the weekend getaway. Daniel--the manager--worked with me to surprise my wife with a bottle of sparkling wine that was chilled in the room and a vase of stunning fall flowers. The food at the inn was amazing, fresh, and I only wish we would have also eaten here Saturday night! We enjoyed breakfast both mornings and had dinner Sunday night. During breakfast, they have many choices (all included) and we chose to try the omelet, the sausage gravy, and the eggs Benedict. There were also choices for French toast, a farmers breakfast, and they had gluten free options as well when asked. For dinner, because it was on Sunday it was the supper series that gives a three course option with the main choices being fried chicken or pork bbq. The location of this inn is ideal--a short drive from Richmond, northern Virginia, or Charlottesville. This makes it an easy getaway from the hustle of the city, but also not a super long journey. The inn is also a short distance from many wineries and historical sites. We will be back!

Furthermore the room appointments have seen better days and would be improved by a good cleaning and a coat of polish. The inns landscaping consists of indigenous weeds snd spent drink containers. Frankly the whole area would benefit from a beautification program. Crumbling sidewalks, patched asphalt and overgrown brush is not very appealing. The street reeked of that sweet pungent nauseating smell of mary jane. Perhaps that is why the place is so uninviting, the population is too stoned to care. Last, but certainly not least, the toilet in our room is so low that you feeling like you are squatting over an open pit ( and the flush mechanism is malfunctioning).

A few days ago we stayed overnight on the grounds of the Barboursville Vineyards. We stayed in the…read moreSangiovese Cottage. An absolutely beautifully renovated historic structure was constructed into a well appointed accommodation. This is a one bedroom standalone cottage with a sizable wood deck off the bedroom. It has a full kitchen, perfect for extended stays. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Ginger, our point of contact with 1804 Cottages, set us up with a well stocked refrigerator and a precooked omelette and bacon breakfast for the following morning including croissants, yogurt, juices, milk etc. She literally thought of everything. After a long day of travel, this was a huge benefit. The 1804 inn and cottages is a 'must do' for couples, families or a group of friends that appreciate wine and beautiful settings to share together. My wife and I agreed...this is a magical place. So much so, we would travel again across the country to stay here. See you in 2023 Barboursville and 1804 Inn and Cottages!

My new husband and I rented out all the cottages for our wedding this past weekend. The cottages…read morethemselves were absolutely beautiful. With that being said, the Inn Keeper, Jo, left a lot to be desired. She was very difficult to work with and added a lot of unnecessary stress to our wedding. For example, we were never told (looked back through every email) that the Pinot Grigio cottage (which is the only two bedroom cottage) had a different price if you planned to use both bedrooms. So on the day of our wedding, the second bedroom was dead bolted and was not accessible. I called the lady at the 1804 Inn who kindly told me she would come unlock it. Then another woman immediately called back and rudely told me we hadn't paid for the second bedroom. I told her that was never told to us by Jo. And her response was that she didn't know what Jo had told us, but if we paid another $100 she could unlock it. I obviously had bigger things going on that day, so we said fine. And they unlocked the bedroom but did not put out a second bottle of wine (a bottle of wine and breakfast is included with each cottage set for 2). She also charged our credit card for twice the amount her email (sent a few days before the wedding) had stated it would be charged. There was no invoice sent when we were charged. No breakdown in the charges. I had to email her myself for further information. And 3 days later (very typical of communication with Jo... usually took longer) she finally responded with pictures of the blurry screen of an iPhone showing us various things (like a fire extinguisher used, which she states was our cottage but looking at the virtual tour it is not, but she said "I'm not going to argue, it was your cottage"). Out of all the stress wedding planning brings, Jo was at the top of our list. I'm very glad I never have to communicate with her further. When I told Jo she caused the most unnecessary stress for me while planning my wedding, she told me that our group of friends were the worst guests. When I inquired as to why? She said because the furniture was slightly moved around in one of the rooms. And there were cigarette butts on the ground of one porch. For being an older woman, her maturity has not come with her age. I loved barboursville as a venue and do not regret getting married there. And the cottages were beautiful. It just seems like Jo is very separate from the actual venue and is less than accommodating. If they change Inn Keepers I would absolutely recommend staying in the cottages. But for now, we won't return until that changes. For reference I'm adding the blurry picture she sent us of the fireplace. And then the picture of the actual fireplace where we stayed. But again, she said she wouldn't argue with me (she clearly does not know her own cottages very well)

My husband and I recently got married at Prospect Hill Inn. While the ceremony was beautiful and…read morethe venue has charm, the experience leading up to and during our wedding day was incredibly stressful due to poor communication, unfulfilled promises, and a total lack of professional coordination. We chose this intimate venue for a low-stress experience, but we felt like a low priority and were blamed for every issue. Before we paid our deposit, communication with T was fantastic. Afterward, replies went from taking hours to taking weeks. Though coordination was explicitly included, T failed to deliver: No Communication/Direction: T ignored late-night texts about the fire pit, leaving my husband to build it. On the wedding day, no one directed guests or vendors; I had to meet people in the parking lot. Timeline Failures: Our 5:00 PM ceremony started late because no one tracked the timeline or gathered the groom. T then rushed us through everything else to hit a strict 7:00 PM dinner, cutting into our photography. Poor Hospitality: In 90-degree heat, we had to make six trips to haul bags to our cottage with no help or golf cart offered. Later, staff refused to let guests (including older family) sit down or get a drink before we entered. During a rushed photo session, T inappropriately interrupted to complain about our guest book pens. The Flowers & Charms: Friday, I gave T a labeled bag. My mom explicitly asked her to attach 4 sentimental charms of my late grandparents to my bouquet. T agreed. By 3:50 PM Saturday, I had no flowers. T was entirely off-property, forcing my mom to hunt down the bouquet. When found, the charms were missing. T arrived late, blamed others, and told me to attach them myself while in my wedding dress. The groom's boutonnieres also arrived Friday and were brown and wilted by ceremony time. Blame & Broken Promises: The AC: When the AC broke in my parents' room, T instantly accused us: "You must have blown a fuse." Dances: T acted visibly annoyed by our first and parent dances, though they were explicitly scheduled. The Grounds: Promised winter hydrangeas and wildflower hills were actually zero bushes and pure dirt. Hidden Fees & Perks: T forgot our cake design details multiple times. Souvenir flutes contractually promised were never received. We were charged a surprise $21 fee for cottage breakfast delivery. When we asked to put our refund on a different card, they fought us before reluctantly writing a check. The Menu: Food quality didn't match prior menus. We were never shown the breakfast menu, yet T snapped at my husband for asking for ketchup and blamed us for not changing a menu we never saw. To top it off, our marriage certificate arrived with my name misspelled and the wrong date. T never offered a single compliment on the wedding day and didn't even say goodbye at checkout. Our wedding was beautiful solely because our 11 guests stepped up to run it. Future couples: what is promised in the sales pitch is not what is delivered. Get every syllable in writing.

I haven't stayed at many places that feel more like a five-star resort than this one. Driving up to the property felt like being in a car commercial, rolling hills, gorgeous scenery, and impeccable service waiting the moment we arrived. Check-in was seamless. We stayed in one of the rooms in the new wing, which was absolutely stunning. In 2017, the hotel completed a multi-year, $2 million renovation and expansion, and it shows in every detail. Our room overlooked the grounds and was part of the beautiful new addition. The room itself was spacious and elegant, with a wonderfully comfortable bed and a cozy nook perfect for reading or relaxing. The bathroom was equally luxurious and practically begged for a long shower. Waiting for us in the room was a handwritten note wishing us a wonderful mother-daughter trip, along with thoughtful gifts from the spa. Another nice touch: branded, reusable water bottles to use at the filling stations around the property. I loved this sustainability piece that doubles as a keepsake. During our stay, I walked the grounds, visited the spa, and toured the Southern Living Idea House which is on its ground, though honestly, this is the kind of hotel where simply staying on property feels like a vacation. Because we visited in winter, the pool was closed, but seeing it made me want to return in the spring. The fitness center was well appointed, the tennis court s and area were beautiful, and the championship golf course was gorgeous! I'm not a golfer, but I loved looking at this course from the mini windows and patios overlooking it! I'll share more about the spa in a separate review, but trust me, it is not to be missed. And the on-site restaurant, Marigold, is an absolute delight. Jean-Georges' effortless style comes through in both the ambiance and the food. We enjoyed two dinners and a brunch there, and I genuinely wish I could have eaten even more. Wow. Another standout perk is the fleet of BMWs available for guests to check out and explore the surrounding area. We chose to only venture out once, to Jefferson Vineyard, but there is plenty to explore in the greater Charlottesville area for those wanting more. In closing, this hotel is incredible! Perfectly styled and wonderfully relaxing. I will be thinking about it and my lovely time there for many years to come!

We went to Keswick Hall this past weekend for a girls trip…read more This resort is beautiful! From the moment we checked in, every staff member we interacted with went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They also provided us with a lot of recommendations which we appreciated. When we first arrived, we had a quick lunch at the grille. It overlooked the driving range with a beautiful view. They had a lot of food options. I got the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. We also dined at Marigold each morning for breakfast, as it was included in our stay. The omelet was amazing! We ate at Marigolds for dinner as well the last night, and the food was truly unbelievable. There's clearly a focus on fresh, local ingredients, and the menu offers something for everyone. Highly recommend the truffle pizza and the shrimp salad! We also took advantage of the spa during our stay. We each had a massage / facial. The spa was also beautifully set up, and I really enjoyed the steam room and sauna. The only thing that would've made it even better is if there was a private pool for the spa guests to use as well. The massage was wonderful though and very relaxing! We also got to enjoy the pool. It wasn't too crowded and the pool itself was luxurious. Keswick Hall is truly a gem in Charlottesville. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

While it wasn't luxurious or overly fancy, it had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. One of the highlights was the complimentary breakfast. There was a great variety of options, including two types of scrambled eggs (plain and cheese with peppers), bacon, sausage, buttermilk biscuits, cereal, coffee, tea, and juice. Everything was well stocked and made for a great start to the day. The indoor pool was unfortunately under repair during our visit, but it looked like it will be a really nice amenity once the work is completed.
